Mid-year update 2025 - Sewing machine repair, pattern making, school, wasteland vibes and more

Many apologies, as I often forget to cross-post here. I really should use this blog a lot more often As many of you know, I've been working on my education.  Even if I don't get a job working in the industry, I can keep working on my own wardrobe, and hopefully buying less, and re-using the fabric in my current wardrobe, to make something new, that will long term fit me better

With that said, I have a bunch of videos that I posted since the beginning of the year:


First up, we have a video for basic techniques for those who have never used a sewing machine before

 

 

 

Then we have a quick patch job on one of my favourite tee shirts, from Threadbanger

 

 

 

How about a Deerstalker hat for those who want something fashionable, for a Sherlock Holmes cosplay or for those Holo Taco detectives out there?

 

 

Spent a day volunteering at a workshop, to teach people how to mend their clothes, or make it fit better, or even just learning how to use a sewing machine

 

Made some decor that has a post-apocalyptic vibe, because of the current state of the world, because why not?  My Geiger counter is in the shop, and our sassy Vault seamstress isn't having it with ridiculous requests

Taking apart and re-assembling not only 1, but 2 sewing machines!

 

Struggling with a custom body block and fitting mockups to my body, so I can make my own designs that fit me well

 

 

 

More machine oiling tips, and using nail polish for unconventional uses, to highlight lines on my sewing machine to make it easier to see

 

 

I also had a special guest over, to help them with their coat, skirt, and them borrowing my iron.  The Shitpost Calligrapher!

 

 There will be more videos to come, that you may not want to miss!

 

The more you subscribe, like and comment, the more the algorithm will see my work, show it to more people, and they tell two friends, then they tell two friends, and so on, and so on

 

 

See something you like?  Have a comment on a technique, or want to help me out with my struggles?  Go onto YouTube and please leave a comment, so I can reply, and so I'll see it.

I'll see you there!
